it should. WiiU should have a relatively healthy Q3/Q4 this year. Mario Kart and Smash Bros are arguably Nintenfo's two staple franchises which should push WiiU to knew heights.
X360 is also beyond its time and with XBO growing people will move onto XBO rather than X360. X360 will act more of the cheap console that people will buy because it is cheap. But really how many more people will buy a X360? My guess is little. 80m for X360 was an achievement but it is hard to say it has enough life in it to make it much further.
Meanwhile WiiU is expected to go much further. So i agree with you that it isnt really a bold prediction. If the WiiU happens to not outsell the X360 which is turning 9 years old this year, then all the doom that people shouts will pretty much be confirmed.
I may have been wrong about my prediction last year but Nintendo wont let me down twice.......I hope :P
